Dear Xbox 360 P4AU players,
There are more characters besides Adachi and Minazuki. Just because nine out of ten players use them doesn't mean you have to.
Thanks,
Fatehehhhh
P.S. Git gud at rushdown defense.

Happy Monday everyone.
TFC looked like a good event. Wish I could have gone.

Sako remains undefeated.
I think dude took it offensive when they was gonna put the Capcom Cup winner in the B league

Does anyone ever get super-depressed at seeing top level, and just knowing the areas where you're never going to match up? Just knowing you're not ever going to be good enough is one of the most frustrating things in the world to me.
It makes me not want to play.
My friends had a good time there. I put TFC on blast hard and they deserved it for some of the stuff that went on before the event, but when the event started they did a good job. They just need accurate and more timely information next year, and more promotion of TFC instead of just using the TFC page to promote FR and Summer Jam (promoting them is fine, but it's the TFC page)
Also maybe fewer chiefs and more indians from what folks were telling me was happening before the event.

I really like Snake-Eyez for best in the world right now, but all the top players are so up there it's a wash.
Smug.
Smug.
Vooks showing the new c-stick use in Smash 3DS.
I think there's a pool of about 20 or so players who could lay claim to the best in the world title on any given day. Just depends on matches and performance variation. It's a sign of how SF is growing up and getting bigger.

I already have a Japanese PSN account, but it's Japanese PS+ only, and only for PS4 as well?
Huh. Welp, there's three other things this week to look forward to. I finally get my hands on P4U2, and KI Season 2.
And Borderlands The Pre Sequel.

Yeah I know a lot of people are very high on Snake Eyez right now and deservedly so. He's a world-class player and he's only getting better. But there's are also a lot of people on his level in the world, and even some lesser known players like Pepeday (until recently of course) that could take claim to that. That being said though, Snake Eyez is making a good case to be at the top of that list.
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
Not wrong, if you take only in to account the usual game sites. Which is usually what people refer to.
He is not wrong.
Online isn't great. I'd say it's slightly better than 360/PS3. Userbase had some more people from that sale that came up but it's still kinda small.
Smug 5-4. Close set.

I didn't interpret it that way thanks to the "IMO"
It's really hard for multiplayer only games to get GOTY awards. Unless there's a specific category for Multiplayer GOTY and even in that case Fighters have to compete with stuff like Shooters, RTSs and MOBAs.
No fighting game this generation has even deserved GOTY IMO. In the previous generations, fighting games were known for their superior graphics, presentation and soundtracks (especially in the PS2/Dreamcast Tekken 3/SC1 era). Now they definitely can't compete with the standard AAA games in terms of visuals and presentation. Plus they have remained extremely stagnant in their implementation of actual multiplayer/online features.

At the airport. The worst bit about travelling is the bit in the middle of the travelling home stage.
RFD has been hands down the easiest tournament I have been to internationally. My plan worked out flawlessly:
I got off the plane and onto a train.
I got off the train, walked for ten minutes and got set up at the hostel.
I got from the hostel to the venue and back on both days on foot without spending a penny.
I am now on my way home.
Nothing has gone wrong. Amsterdam is incredibly easy to get around. And thanks to all the money I haven't had to spend getting about, I've grabbed a few souvenirs. And because I booked my flight times to maximise my time in Holland, I have had pretty much an entire day to explore central Amsterdam.
Sometimes you get a tournament like this which doesn't drain you and instead you come back feeling you have had an actual weekend away, all happy and energized. This was definitely one of those tournaments.
One thing though - some bits of Amsterdam reeeeeeally smell like cannabis. Ew.

If anything it makes me want to play more. It's a combination of the logistics of dedicating more time to certain games (as much as I love them) long enough to be what would amount to an ascended casual player (i.e. doesn't go to tournaments much or at all) on top of getting older and take on more responsibilities with big time investments that curbs that enthusiasm for me. =/

Amsterdam was awesome when I was there for the MTG PT, I just wish I had more time/money back then.At the airport. The worst bit about travelling is the bit in the middle of the travelling home stage.

I wasn't a fan of Combo until those finals but he looked really good when being used by someone that knows the game.
Some of you guys may remember LA Akira, but he recently started a Kickstarter for a project he's doing called the Message. A CGI production set in a neo Tokyo setting. Check it out here:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/826390253/the-message-0
This guy does as much for Virtua Fighter in his capacity as MarkMan has done for Tekken. I'm supporting this project of his just to say thank you for all the VF support he's done over the years.

Hey fool you back from vacation yet?
Won several GOTY's back in 1999.
God damn haha
Because of how excting the tour has become, I'm willing to spend 10 minutes of my precious time creating a spreadsheet for the current standings of the CPT post-TFC.
As you can see, 11 players have virtually qualified for the Capcom Cup. Two of the five remaining spots available will be through winning CPT Asia Finals and Dreamhack Winter whereas the other 3 spots will be given through points qualification. The interesting thing about Dreamhack Winter is there will be no CPT points being allocated to the top 16 placers so only the winner of DW will have the sole reward of getting a place in the Capcom Cup.
A few observations:
-The players who are in the top 16 standings right now but haven't won a premier event will hope for Xian or Gamerbee to win CPT Asia Finals so it will open up another space for them to qualify through points. Worst case scenario for them would be one of the other contenders of CPT Asia Finals winning the tournament.
-Even then, the two EG players (K-Brad + Ricky) & Nuckledu must win Resistance (the last US ranking event) in order to secure their spot in the Capcom Cup.
-The relative unknown in the Top 16, ChuChu (the Brazilian player), can ruin the dreams of some of those who are above and below him in the standings by winning the tournament in Brazil Game Show (assuming he attended it) as well as the online tournaments organised by Capcom (he got his points mostly from the Online Series).
-Aside from Gamerbee & Xian, it seems Daigo is the only one in the CPT Asia Finals to make an effort in travelling to get a place in the Capcom Cup. If he didn't manage to qualify through CPTA, he will most likely travel to Dreamhack to try his luck and win the final premier event of the tour.
-Since Fuudo has been relatively inactive in the tour lately, I can assume he will most likely be not attending anymore CPT events so he is virtually out of the running for a spot in the Capcom Cup.
I think I've spent a bit too much time on this so I'll stop for now but if I've made any mistakes with my observations, please let me know. CPT is such a brilliant way of creating a narrative for the SF4 tournament scene and I applaud Capcom and Twitch for creating this tour because of this particular reason.

I disagree. SFIV, TTT2, VF5FS are all worthy of GOTY.

Madcatz so anime.
the nature of mainstream games has changed a lot since the nineties... from more mechanically driven stuff to more narrative driven stuff. i definitely dont foresee a fighting game or racing game or SHMUP winning anybodies goty when it is being compared to big, epic narrative based titles.
Yeah and that was 15 years ago. I already pointed out Tekken 3 and SC1. One could also make the case for VF4 as a GOTY contender but again... these are a couple of generations ago and times have changed where as fighting games have not (for the most part at least).
Won several GOTY's back in 1999.
Not to me.
None of those games have the graphics or presentation to stand out among the other games that have come out in the same years. If they don't have the graphics/visuals then they have to make strides in game play innovation which none of them really did. If they didn't make game play innovation then they should've added innovations in extra modes/online match making which DEFINITELY none of them did.
VF5 could've been GOTY (the original not the expansion as expansions/updates have even less of a chance to get GOTY) because it came early in the generation where the competition from other games wasn't as strong but even then it had to compete against Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Super Mario Galaxy... yup that wasn't happening at all.

I made a post about the trend in the media(and GAF) GOTY choices
So multiplayer games where you have to dig into the mechanics and play with other people is just a no-go. And I typed this up before Destiny came and went like a fart in the wind.

I like this post.
Which seems weird to me that a game with a small amount of gameplay and mostly story (TWD) can be considered for GOTY but fighters or other MP games can't. Like, why is a single player game with you playing it very little acceptable but not fighters?
I completely disagree with TWD winning any GOTYs by the way.
Although 2012 was in fact a very weak year for gaming.
If we are going to talk about this year then so far I actually like Shadow of Mordor the most. I haven't actually played enough games this year to comment but that would be my pick thus far. Haven't played Bayonetta 2 yet though.
